Columbia University School of the Arts presents the 2nd year Acting cohort in Charles L. Mee's Big Love, directed by Ares Harper.
Fifty brides on the run seek sanctuary in a desperate attempt to escape their fate—but their grooms aren’t far behind! In this modern reimagining of one of the oldest stories in Western Drama, Aeschylus’ The Suppliants, Big Love is a whirlwind of passion, power, and rebellion. Part comedy, part tragedy, and all spectacle, Big Love questions the boundaries of choice and the cost of freedom.
